2022 vintage. One of the best Rosso Di Montalcino wines I’ve had since our romp through Montalcino enroute to Sorrento in the summer of 2017. Excellent Sangiovese, pleasant floral aromas of black cherry on the nose, vibrant ruby red colors on the initial pour, soft tannins and a delicately structured taste with a light finish; not as harsh as a Brunello, this vintage is perfect. Continued to open up after the first hour, this paired extremely well with a spicy pasta and meatballs dish. Would enjoy again. — a month ago

Every time we have this wine, I smell our vacations here... our anniversary trips, our family dinners on the way home from water polo tournaments.... dinners around the park and buying flowers at the market. Like memories in a bottle, with a sweet nose and savory bite, this wine continues to be one of our very favorites. Especially poignant during the quarantine. ❤️ — 6 years ago

San Polo “Rubio” Toscana IGT 2023
Toscana IGT – Tuscany – Italy 🇮🇹

Overview
A modern Tuscan red blend crafted with certified organic grapes, primarily driven by Sangiovese and complemented by small percentages of international varieties, typically including Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon depending on the vintage. Produced by San Polo in the heart of Montalcino, this wine captures the approachable yet structured identity of contemporary Toscana IGT wines.

Aromas & Flavors
Ripe red cherry, wild berries, plum, and subtle violet notes layered with touches of spice, dried herbs, and soft earthy undertones. The international varieties add roundness and darker fruit nuances while Sangiovese maintains freshness and energy.

Mouthfeel
Medium-bodied with lively acidity, polished tannins, and a balanced texture. Fresh and approachable while still maintaining enough structure to feel distinctly Tuscan.

Food Pairings
Excellent with pizza, pasta with red sauce, grilled sausages, charcuterie boards, roasted chicken, or aged pecorino cheese.

Verdict
A very enjoyable and versatile Toscana IGT that showcases Sangiovese as the backbone while allowing international grapes to soften and broaden the profile. Authentic enough to reflect Tuscany, yet approachable enough for casual everyday drinking.

🍷 Did You Know?
The Toscana IGT classification was created partly to give producers more flexibility beyond strict DOC/DOCG regulations, allowing the use of international grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot alongside traditional Tuscan varieties, ultimately helping launch the famous “Super Tuscan” movement back in late 60’s and early 70’s. — 2 months ago

2008 Georges Mugneret Ruchottes-Chambertin. Monthly 19th dinner at Polo. Decanted right as we sat and started drinking 1 hr later. Def needed the time and was even better 2 hrs later. Still a little tight 2 hrs later, but showing its balance and nuance. Red and dark fruit, asphalt. — 5 years ago
